It’s really interesting that Fizdale decided to go with THJ over the rookie Kevin Knox. For one, he had said Knox would start and two he said Hardaway wouldn’t play at the three.

I guess Fiz changed his mind, which he is of course if entitled to do.

Also keep in mind that the Knicks’ starting line-up will not be the same every game, given the fact that they’re so young and many of their players are still developing. They don’t have an established starting five.

I think the only guys you can count on starting on a night in and night out basis are both Kanter and Hardaway.

Don’t be surprised though if Knox comes off the bench and gets more minutes than Ntilikina or even Thomas. Fizdale wants to give the rookie plenty of time on the court to get acclimated to the NBA.

Comment below and give us your thoughts on the Knicks starting line-up for their opener.
